It depends on the chromium content. If it is 13% or more, it creates stainless steel. Any less then that would still be considered as high carbon, tool steel, etc.

What is the metal added to steel to increase rust resistance?
The name of the mineral that is added to steel in order to increase rust resistance, is chromium. Chromium is a very hard and brittle type of mineral that resist tarnishing and takes a high polish.
What type of miture is stainless steel?
Stainless steel is an alloy. Mostly a solid solution of small amounts of carbon, chromium, nickel and other elements dissolved in iron.
Stainless steel chemical formula?
There are many types of Stainless Steel. Few are given below: 1. Austenitic Type: Iron, 18% Chromium, Nickel 2. Ferritic Type: Iron, 12% Chromium, 0.12% Carbon A typical formulation for orthodontic use has 18% chromium and 8% nickel
Does chromium react with any elements?
Chromium reacts with oxygen from the atmosphere to form the oxide Cr2O3, which is a type of metal oxide that is non-destructive as opposed to iron oxide. This property is used to protect steel when chromium is added to the molten metal to form an alloy with up to 30% chromium and is commonly known as "Stainless Steel". The Chromium oxide protects the metal from further oxidizing. Chromium will react with a number of other elements if the conditions are suitable. The most common is forming a carbide by reacting with carbon during the smelting process of Ferrochrome. This is typically and unwanted reaction in the process.
What are chromium atoms?
a chromium atom is a type of atom! it is also known as (Cr)
What is the chemical equation for chromium steel?
An alloy hasn't a chemical equation !The concentation of chromium in the alloy is variaible depending on the type of alloy.
What type of metal is 347 stainless steel made out of?
This alloy is a nickel-chromium-manganese steel; see the link below for details.
Which types electrod use carbon stell welding?
It depends on the type of steel. All steel has additives called Alloys. Stainless Steel, for example, has Chromium and Nickel added to already Alloyed Steel. High Yield Steel would have more alloys than Mild Steel. In some situations you would have to know the Alloys and amounts of each to determine what Electrode is required. Using the wrong Electrode can cause a weld to fail. FYI an Alloy is an Element added to another Element to change its characteristics.

no steel is not made out of rocks its made out of iron
What are screwdrivers made out of?
Materials steel wire, plastic, nickel, and chromium are used to produce screwdrivers. The steel wire is used to make the screwdriver bar, plastic is used to make the handle, and either nickel or chromium is used to plate the steel tips of the screwdriver.
What is durable stainless steel?
Durable stainless steel is stainless steel. The application of the word "durable" is a marketing tactic. All steels are durable, and some are more durable than others. Different conditions where the steel is applied will call for different alloy steels. Stainless steel is steel (iron with a percent or so of carbon) and something at or a bit above 10% chromium alloyed into it. This type of steel is largely resistant to corrosive attack and weathering. All of it is durable, and some may be more durable than others in specific applications. If the word "durable" appears as one of the characteristics of a steel or a product made with that steel, why not ask a distributor or even the manufacturer what that means? It may be enlightening.
